**DISCLAIMER**: Some topics discussed in this episode are currently unfolding, meaning new evidence & information can become available after filming. These topics will be touched upon further in future episodes!

A peaceful holiday at home with Luna set the stage for reflections on pressing societal issues. I unpack the misinformation surrounding a tragic New York City subway incident, emphasizing the necessity of compassion over the harmful manipulation of facts to support anti-immigrant agendas. It's a heartfelt reminder of the need to navigate the complexities of illegal immigration with empathy and understanding, rather than division and politicization.

As the conversation shifts, the episode delves into the murky waters of celebrity allegations, spotlighting Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni. Challenging the notion of the "perfect victim," I confront my own biases and highlight the importance of taking every claim seriously, regardless of the individual's public persona. By encouraging listeners to dig deeper into these allegations, I hope to foster an environment where all voices are acknowledged and respected, underscoring the need for critical examination beyond surface-level judgments.

No discussion would be complete without addressing my intense disdain for Jennifer Lopez, which traces back to her role in the movie "Selena." Through candid critique, I explore allegations of cultural appropriation and the broader issue of overshadowing Black women's contributions in the music industry. By calling out these patterns, I aim to amplify marginalized voices and challenge the narrative that often sidelines Black talent. It's a passionate call for recognition and fairness in an industry where so many have been overlooked.
